“Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency in market value and, technologically, the most [balanced] currency in history,” said Guilherme Benevides, CEO of Gafisa. “It is a currency that is growing in popularity every day, also expanding the possibilities of its use.”

Accepting Bitcoin payments reduces transaction costs since it’s quick and efficient, offers fast settlements, and lowers the risk of fraud. Gafisa is also excited about the disruptive technology and the opportunities that will come with embracing innovation.
